Full Grain Leather Crossbody Bag DIY Kit – Hand-Sewn, 29 cm, 16 Colors

Make Your Own Leather Crossbody Bag

This is a DIY leathercraft kit. You sew the bag yourself, turning pre-cut and pre-punched genuine leather panels into a finished crossbody bag that measures 29 cm wide, 31 cm high, and 8 cm deep. The result is a functional, stylish, unisex bag you can wear as a crossbody or shoulder bag. It holds your daily essentials: phone, keys, wallet, and more.

What’s in the Kit

Everything you need to assemble the bag is included, except for edge paint (which cannot be shipped). The kit contains:

• Pre-cut full grain leather panels
• Pre-punched stitching holes (made with pricking irons for a neat diagonal stitch)
• Woven canvas strap (removable, non-adjustable)
• Snap closure hardware
• Thread and needles
• Step-by-step instructions with video tutorial

You will need to purchase edge paint separately to finish the edges.

Skill Level and Process

This kit is suitable for beginners. The leather pieces come pre-cut and pre-punched, so you focus on stitching and assembly. A video tutorial guides you through each step. You will hand-sew the panels together using a saddle stitch, then attach the hardware and strap. The process is enjoyable and rewarding, even if you have never worked with leather before.

Materials and Dimensions

The kit uses soft full grain leather, known for durability and a high-end feel. The strap is a woven canvas fabric. Finished bag dimensions are: width 29 cm, height 31 cm, depth 8 cm. Available colors: Gold Brown, Taupe, Black, Creamy White, Orange, Pink, Vert Criguet, Bleu Lin, Anemone, Bleu Agate, Bleu Jean, Bleu Electrique, Malachite, Jaune Ambre, Trench, and Custom Kit. Hardware comes in gold or silver.

Why Hand-Stitching Lasts Longer

This kit uses the saddle stitch method, a traditional two-needle technique. Unlike machine stitching, which can unravel if a thread breaks, saddle stitches interlock at every hole, so they remain secure even if one thread is cut. This makes your handmade bag stronger and more durable than many machine-sewn bags. Plus, the diagonal stitching looks elegant and professional.
